Beneath a Rising Moon by Keri Arthur

Now, this is a newer book that was on my list for a while. I had just
been waiting for it to come out. It was so frustrating, my memory is
totally shot so I kept forgetting the date it was released and it seemed
like every other day I was like, "Today is the day! It's coming out!"
Then I would look and it would be another month, or another two weeks.
But! (obviously) it finally came out and I finished it that night (much
to the displeasure of my poor eyes, they hate me for reading so much).

There’s
no turning back for Neva Grant. To find a killer, she must seduce the
boldest male in the Sinclair pack. Her twin sister lies in a hospital
bed, fighting for her life, the fourth and only surviving victim of a
vicious attacker. The werewolf rangers suspect the Sinclair pack, and
the only way Neva can infiltrate their close-knit ranks is to unleash
the wildness within and offer herself to Duncan Sinclair.
Duncan’s appetite for women is legendary on the reservation. But when
this new woman stirs his hunger, he finds his desire for her goes deeper
than anything he’s ever felt before. When he realizes that she’s
playing a game and he’s taken the bait, he is determined to push her to
the breaking point. As Duncan and Neva engage in a dangerous dance, they
must somehow find a way to join forces—before a cornered killer bites
back.

I liked this book :) Man.... Duncan....
He's kinda a jerk, but what is it about girls liking jerks.. I dont
know. But he was a jerk for a reason, though he jumped to the conclusion
that the killer sent Neva much too quickly for me, but he eventually
saw the light and realized she was one of the good guys. I think him
being jerky added to their relationship though... My boyfriend always
tells me that I like being sad, and it made me so sad how he was just so
nasty to her. But then when he realizes they are soul mates. Ah, how
sweet that was, and he had that moment of insecurity that I'm sure a guy
like Duncan never feels.

Now, Neva. I liked her, and how she was
willing to do anything to find the person who attacked her sister, but
seriously, she needed to stop being to stubborn and naive. made me want
to punch a wall sometimes. If you know that the moon makes you lusty
(have felt this way your whole life) and you know that its normal to
have sex (have even done it before) and you know there are such things
as soul mates and (!) you are willing to do anything to help your
sister... stop being a baby and complaining about it, I mean seriously.
She goes on and on about how her parents taught her differently, but
then she admitted that she had slept with men before during the rising
moon. I don't know. Maybe I am a person who accepts things very easily.
Like if I had to have mad sex with Duncan for a week to help find a
killer I wouldn't whine about it. I'd be like ok lets do this! And then
look for clues.

Ok, another thing I don't like, but I do
understand, is her attachment to her family. They are hypocritical
assholes, but they are her family and I don't have to be a werewolf to
understand that. BUT! Oh my goodness, come on! Her mom got crazy drunk
and killed a bunch of people when she was young, yet she is too high and
mighty to forgive Duncan for drinking and being a ladies man? and her
dad was happier to see her suffer without her soul mate than to see her
happy with Duncan. I'm sorry, I love my family, but I would totally
ditch them if they treated me like that. And she was so worried that if
she left she wouldn't see her sister. Um... they are twins, right? They
can read each others minds, right? Her sister is the crazy rebellious
twin, right? Ugh seriously, obviously this girl doesn't know her twin
that well. OBVIOUSLY her twin would stand by her!!

And that skanky
bitch? What was her name..... Oh Betise! That ho! Ok, sorry, let me
explain.... I think the thing I hate most in the world are skanky hos
that try to steal other women's men. I mean it doesn't even matter if
the guy isn't interested... the fact that they think its possible makes
me want to break things. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it! And this woman
Betise seemed to think she was entitled to Duncan, ugh!!! And then she
thought she could bond with him or whatevs... Oh my goodness I was
foaming at the mouth reading that. I would go postal if someone tried
that with my boyfriend. That said... as much as I hate women like this I
do LOVE having them in stories. They always get me so worked up and so
into the story, and I am always so satisfied when their reckoning comes.
Now, in this one, oh man, when Neva attacked her, jeez I was so happy.
But I wanted her humiliated and punished and making her brain dead, I
felt, kinda stole my evil pleasure, it seemed a bit anticlimactic.

But I did like this book, I love paranormal romance and I'll def have more of it on here. Read this and tell me what you think?

About Me

I’m Kelsea! I love reading, and when I say that I love reading I really mean it. Sometimes it is all that I can think about.

I started a blog because I read so many books, and I never really
have anyone to talk about them with, and who better to talk to than
people who read the same books? I just write what I think, sometimes I
ramble, but I just want to get my opinion out there and hear back from
people about what they think too.
